• How IT Management Can 'Green' the Data Center: Data centers waste large amounts of energy. IT management can help them to "go green" by implementing energy-saving initiatives, correcting redundancies and inefficiencies in hardware and software, and staying ahead of the trends affecting power and price.

They will need to be flexible, modular and readily adaptable to changing IT infrastructure and economic cost models.
